Dr. Heidi Thomas, who has roughly 25 years of experience as a private veterinary practitioner primarily in Florida, has been getting acclimated since she started her job as the Maryland Jockey Club Senior Veterinarian in mid-October.

Thomas, originally from Connecticut, earned her undergraduate degree at Purdue University in Indiana and her veterinary degree at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine in Massachusetts. Though she has done regulatory veterinary work at tracks in Florida and Arizona, much of her time has been with the prominent veterinary practice Teigland, Franklin & Brokken, DVMs in South Florida.

She was working at Gulfstream Park and Gulfstream Park West before relocating to Maryland.
